Hi David,
Unfortunately, there is a big ongoing issue right now with the upload time of photos. A lot of people are blogging about their frustration with this. I would recommend you use a friend or family member's Google+ account to do a user upload of a photo, as this apparently will be published faster at this time than the owner publish option will. Kind of silly, I know, but Google is aware that this is an issue going on.

Hi Miriam,
Looks like i still have same image displaying in Google maps, i did what you said,
i deleted the photos and uploaded new one that i want Google to display in the number one spot, its been close to 3 weeks. but the right image still isn't displaying.
here is the screen shot of Google places dashboard, you can see that first image , isn't what Google is displaying .

Hi Anatoliy,
It looks like you have a non-merged Google+ Local page (as opposed to a fully merged Google+ Local/Google+ Business Page). In most cases, this means that you will be editing your photos by logging into the old Places Dashboard, which still controls the backend of most Google+ Local pages. If I am correct that your listing is non-merged, you can go to this page:
https://plus.google.com/117400845160255741148/about?hl=en
(make sure you are signed into your Google account)
Then, click on the 'manage this page' button on the lower right side of the page. This will take you to a dashboard. At that point, you can choose to the edit button in the area labeled 'Your Businesss Info' in the right column.
That should take you to the completely editable dashboard where you should see your photos listed. You can then delete the photos and start over with a fresh one in the number 1 spot.
Hope this helps!

Hello Scott,
1. Yes that is my listing https://maps.google.com/maps?cid=1552403007127876102
2. I can see the listing, and all my images are there, with the one i want to display as main image, which is the first one http://screencast.com/t/j0JK4PRnKv7o
3. Point of Interest looks right.
4. Yes that is my Google + page https://plus.google.com/117400845160255741148/
Thanks for help

Hi Anatoliy,
I am seeing this Google+ Local page for you:
https://plus.google.com/117400845160255741148/about?hl=en
Both in the main SERPs and as the circle image on your Google+ page, I see a photo of a woman getting a massage.
This photo is coming from here:
https://plus.google.com/117400845160255741148/photos?hl=en
Because this is the first photo in your lineup of photos, it is the one Google is using as your main photo. This seems to confuse many people. See:
So, if you want a different photo to appear, you need to put it first in the lineup. Be advised, however, that photo changes can take weeks to go into effect.
Hope this helps!

It looks like Google is showing the "Street View" map image instead of the image you uploaded.
So, this is your listing? https://maps.google.com/maps?cid=1552403007127876102
When you go here: http://www.google.com/local/add/ and log in with that account, do you see the listing? If so, that's where you'd edit the image.
I believe this is the Google Map Maker POI (Point of Interest) for that listing. Does that look right? http://www.google.com/mapmaker?gw=39&fid=0x89e37717ebe05e89:0xbc2be1f7aabc9ee5
And this is the Google + Page, right? https://plus.google.com/117400845160255741148/

What is the CID of your listing?
For example: http://www.orionweb.net/2012/03/20/gain-reviews-to-increase-your-google-places-listing-rank/ read the bottom of this post.
Also, what is the Name of the company? It's possible that you have more than one listing or perhaps Google is pulling in a photo from another authoritative website.

Business with Google + Business Page not showing with map
Hi I set up a Google + business Page for a client and we claimed their address (it shows in the Google Maps page fine. The page has been created for a while now but when you search for this business it does not show the map to the right? Any thoughts? BTW we have two locations and both have separate pages - thought this could be the issue but then when I added the business name + the location still not showing.

Google Carousel - What Should We Now Be Doing Differently?
Google Carousel is rolling out for even more topics. How does it affect or change tracking in Google Analytics? For example, if I am in the Carousel and someone clicks my listing, then Google completes a search for my property… then the searcher clicks through to my site organically. Will I know that someone originally clicked the Carousel or will I have no idea and simply see a Google organic click? Should we be optimizing our Google+ Places listings differently? How does this change our own organic keyword targeting? In other words, if I am in the Carousel should I go after a different keyword organically? Does anyone know how many people are clicking into the Carousel vs. the organic listings or even pay per click below? Searchers behavior will be altered because of this change. What say you all?

Google Places Local Submission
Hello We're going to upload a bulklisting to Google Places for multiple locations. However, there are existing Google places listings for these locations. The bulklisting is being used to undertake a refresh of all the existing data. How do we go about updating the existing data i.e. do we have to delete the existing information prior to submitting the bulkload, or does a new submission over write the existing data. In addition, how does Google Places verify a bulkload submission i.e. do they make contact with the designated business owner. How long does such a process actually take (roughly!). I know some of this is touched on in the Goolge Places help section, but it is not clear and I don't want to get this wrong for obvious reasons. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Rgds Neil
